This would save so much time and help the completeness of Xero Payroll

This is critical

Xero why oh why must you punish the AU users please just give us this......https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0urboRDBIc I tried the BETA for rostering. I am sure its great for that. I dont need to roster. I need a work pattern so my staff can apply for leave without me having to maintain a spreadsheet to calculate the amount of leave.

I would like a feature added whereby staff work 38 weeks per year, term time only. Everything currently is assumed staff work over 52 weeks , this does not work for me as all of my staff work 38 weeks, not 52

This is critical to any business employing part-timers. I only have a small payroll with just one part-timer, but every time there's a public holiday or annual leave I need to do the calculations manually. I have suggested in a number of forums that Xero consider integrating a 3rd-party solution as Quickbooks did with Keypay, as the current solution is so far behind others on the market that it seems it will never catch up.

This would be AMAZING! For full time as well as part time staff and the ability to add hours for each day in weekly, fortnight or monthly payrun cycle.

We need a resolution to this. It is very time consuming to have to manually adjust pays every time there is a public holiday

Yes! This is SOOO frustrating. So many people do not work the same hours every weekday!

I do not think Xero will change the current payroll system, as this is a fundamental and structural data model change that I think would require a complete rewrite. Moving to another system is the alternative.

when will this be addressed? not only days but the number of hours worked for each day.

Just to be clear, this should be for full time employees too. I have full time staff that work Tuesday to Saturday for example, so its still a critical function for any permanent staff member.

This is frustrating, with large payroll we need to remember which employees work certain days for public holidays and leave requests do not calculate properly. This is a problem when the employees enter the leave requests through XeroMe as it will be incorrect

When will this be implemented for the Australian Market? It's already available in other regions.
I hate this time of the year, having to manually check and adjust all our payroll with all the public holidays and leave.
Another good suggestion would be to be able to schedule when the payslips are emailed out - for example I'm on holidays over the Christmas break so I have had to do all the payroll before I finished. I was able to schedule the bank and EFT payments but there's no way to schedule when payslip or Remittance Advice is emailed out

This has been active for almost two years now. How about an update - or is it so difficult that the frustration caused to customers is outweighed?

Having read the comments it seems Xero has the functionality in other regions, and it is causing a lack of compliance with Australian workplace laws. In these times of wage theft being a serious offence, it sounds like Xero needs a rapid response to avoid a class action.

Please Xero implement this. Its pretty crazy that this doesn't exist. I have to manage leave requests in a spreadsheet. I have been using another finance system for several years and never imagined I would have to go back to managing leave requests this way.

The functionality already exists in other regions look up learning "Set up a working pattern template". I have been with Xero for maybe two months. this lack of functionality already has me considering leaving.

I am hoping something to solve this issue is added soon. I have seen many people leave xero for this and I have been looking at alternatives also.

We really need this for all staff, full time & part time. Given that working pattern templates are available in other versions of Xero, why is this not available in Australia? Please implement this Xero, it is really a fundamental requirement and will give us half a chance of getting leave balances accurate.

Has this been done? If not why not? it's obvious it needs to be.

Nearly all my employees are using XERO Me to record their leave, but they do not think about the different hours they work. Having their standard weekly schedule in the background, would ensure that public holidays and leave hours are correctly calculated when leave application is lodged, rather than having to go in manually and review the applicable hours for the leave period.

AU Payroll. Would be good to have an ability to set one organisation daily hour work. Our full day work is 7 hours. Also set our yearly hours so that the annual salary will be calculating correctly.

I'd love in general for Xero to get up to date across all countries and have the ability to set the hours people work across a week, we have flexible working and at the moment I have to "trick" the system with a stupid number of hours someone works a day across the week to get it to add up for payroll. Same with part time people, you can only say they work X number of days but not which days, so I agree there is WAY more manual work required when it comes to payroll adjustments for both leave requests, payroll and public holiday adjustments. We are looking to transition to ProjectWorks and in the employee's profile you can set what their work week looks like. Why can't Xero do this?!
